A very unique dining experience, run by students and staff of the restaurant school. The dining area is designed to feel like a street in Paris and the cuisine follows suit. While the wait staff seems to be predominantly students still learning the finer points of the hospitality world, they are very accommodating and friendly. A great choice for a fine dining experience in University City.

A real amazing restaurant. Everyone was ready to help us, always kind and happy. The manager, sorry I don’t remember his name, is fantastic! He came to the parking lot to show us where was a handicapp space. He took the wheelchair out of the trunk and pushed me all the way inside. (Made my husband happy too! 😉

Loved this place. Got their Valentine’s Day menu (the day after). Had a smoked salmon dish, parsnip soup, steak dish, halibut. They even made my daughter a fettuccine Alfredo dish, how nice of them! The dessert where a chocolate pot de creme and a mocha tart (not my favorite but I really don’t care for coffee, so that’s on me). We where do pleases with the dinner it’s hard to believe that students are in the kitchen cooking it. I think it speaks volumes about the teachers instructing them. Good job all around.

Bistro Perrier is a restaurant that puts in a effort to make itself authentically French.The service while a little bit nervous was good.The food quality was above average.The taste of the food was what you expect from a French restaurant,which isn’t that easy for it being in Philadelphia. The extras that you get with your meal is also a nice touch.The food however could use(like the rabbit)a bit more seasoning,and better Execution.

A slice of France amidst philly! The ambience is so nice with the decorations and everything, it reminded me of Paris. The service was great, friendly and helpful waiters and waitress. We had two appetisers of steak and snails , both of which were really good. Among the entrees, we tried the salmon and beef bourguignon. The salmon dish was very unique with lentils. The beef tasted good but was a little overcooked and chewy. The house cocktails made by the students were also really tasty as was the honey creme brulee. Thanks for the awesome hospitality and the complementary chocolate truffles. Definitely coming back again.

2 stars because of the mussels fries soup and bread. Feel bad but food was inedible otherwise. I appreciate the students trying but the executive chef or teacher really needs to work on quality control.

While the service was very pleasant, the restaurant was quite empty on a Thursday evening. I do realise this is a cooking school and I come from the industry myself, the wine was great, the interior was gaudy und unusual (though not in a bad way), but the food (almost all dishes) plainly under seasoned and some of the dishes just weren’t prepared correctly. The lobster risotto could’ve been any other white fish other than lobster and had a gritty texture, the snails weren’t in their shells but swimming in a cream of mushroom stew (which made us wonder if they were fresh). The only dish we really enjoyed were the Moulles frites and the sauce (that was great)

Philadelphia’s best french restaurant (sorry, Parc). Students demonstrated great poise in serving and entertaining our party of 18. For a large group, couldn’t ask for a better setting than the balcony. The ambiance is on a whole other level (pun intended). Will definitely come back

We went here for my birthday and I found everything amazing – right from the appetizers to the (to die for) desserts. I really loved the holiday decorations especially the huge gingerbread Eiffel Tower at the entrance. It’s a cute place but, it’s not huge so definitely make reservations before you go. You will not be disappointed. It is expensive like any fancy French restaurant but, I think it was worth it.

Free off-street parking with guard, top-notch service from start to finish, excellent food in a very unique setting, all for a great price. The interior is decorated to look like an outdoor, European plaza, complete with building facades, store fronts, a fountain with flowers and trees. Very unique experience.
